Question

Which is strong acid acetic acid or chloro acetic acid?

Answer 1

Due to -ve inductive effect of Cl ionisation of chloroacitic increases and its Ka value becomes higher.Hence, chloroacitic acid becomes stronger acid than acitic acid.

Ka for ClCH2COOH =1.3 x10^-3

Ka for CH3COOH = 1.8 x1o^-5
